deep hasbro thoughts

(I do work with a lot of bold and headstrong women and occasionally executives and while that is nice it is not my default, not in this economy, not on one cup of coffee)

but it did of course end up being affirming as one of the exercises were to remember ... a time in childhood you felt proud of yourself (cool to do at 2 pm on a weekday)?????

and I had this sudden flashback to when I did have to pull a boy off my friend in the playground and physically tell him to stop hurting my friend and bullying her and calling her names? 5th grade maybe?

Of course I got in trouble because all they saw was when I kicked this kid in the shins :)))) And got a lecture on how girls should not kick boys (disagree) but that is beside the point

Adult me is proud of 5th grade me going to fisticuffs lol. Other stuff happened to be proud of probably but .... !

I remember screaming. I remember being just over it and lunging at this kid, which is funny to think about now as I am pretty ... subdued and exhausted most of the time 24/7 lol. (Adulthood)

I do not like to see other people teased or hurt now, didn't then (although I would not kick people now unless they really deserved it).

Anyway we had to all tell each other these stories and my one coworker said that was pretty brave and I was like .... aw I didn't even think, maybe as a kid you just don't.

I didn't gaf as a kid — when it came to other people. I cared about my schoolwork and grades and friends and the usual, but I really could not handle it. I think I did this several times ... now that I think about it and thank you, job, for making me think about my childhood????

everyone is getting this gif from now on:
